FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS QUEST
please read before asking
How do I start this discovery quest?
Find the dancers in the park
Why can’t I do this discovery quest yet?
You cannot do more than one discovery quest at the same time, if you are currently on another one (the list can be found here) you will not be able to do this one until that one is completed
Can I do discovery quests at the same time as a main quest?
Yes you can
Do I have to do this quest?
If you don’t start the quest you don’t have to do it at all but if you have already started it you need to complete it before you can move on to the next quest
I haven’t started this quest yet, will it still be available when I want to do it?
Yes it will be, you can choose to start it whenever you like
Help! I used the wrong aged sim to watch the dancing couple, now I can’t enthuse, what should I do?
Try using two adult sims to enthuse, if you still don’t get the option you may need to contact the makers
I left the villa, how do I get back?
Use the car at the park
I explored the villa but the roof is still on, how do I eat hors d’oeures?
You will need to contact the makers to see if they can fix this for you as I am unable to fix technical issues
My sims won’t cheer on the fantasias, why?
If they are still in the park you won’t be able to complete this goal. Have all sims leave the villa and go back to the park, restart your device and hopefully the dancers should have left the park. Go back to the villa using the car to cheer them on.
The task have two pairs of sims chatting won’t complete, why?
Are you sure you used 2 pairs of sims? (4 sims)
What do you mean when you say a goal can be started early?
Any goal that you can normally do can be started early because you will have access to it and any goal that you can’t normally do you will have to wait until you get the goal to be able to complete it
The tip with this method is to put the sim doing that action early in a different house that you cannot go to until you get that goal or it will not work
Do you get to keep the cat you rescue?
No, you never see the cat
All sims left the villa but it didn’t complete the task, what should I do?
Try and have all your sims not doing any action, this sometimes makes the game recognise you have completed that goal
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
Rugs
What happens if I don’t complete in the time limit, can I still finish this quest?
Yes you have to finish it to unlock the salsa dancing hobby before you can move onto the next quest
I didn’t complete in the time limit, can I restart the quest?
No, you cannot redo quests
Can I still get the prize if I don’t complete in the time limit?
No, the only way to get the limited time prizes is by completing the quest in the time limit
I don’t like this quest! Can I just skip it?
No, you have to complete this quest before you can move onto the next one now that you have started it, if you don’t start it you don’t have to do it
Some times are slightly different on my game, why is this?
Times may vary depending on the star rating of the item you are using, as the higher star rating an item has the quicker you will complete a goal
Some times are really off/ different goals show for me, why is this?
This will be because the quest has been updated recently, I try my best to keep these posts up to date but it is difficult as I cannot redo every quest each time the game is updated. If you notice any changes please let me know so I can update the post
This quest unlocks the salsa dancing hobby, does the time limit start straight away once I have completed this quest?
Yes, the time limit for the hobby starts straight away once this quest is complete, you can click no when the hobby pop up appears but this does not stop the timer going down
NOTE: the breakdancing hobby timer starts as soon as you complete the salsa dancing hobby

I’m at the very last part of the task where I have to have all Sims at the villa. I have them all there except my baby and it’s not working. Do I need to get my baby to the villa too?
No, its have all sims leave the villa, send all your sims home and it will complete.
Umm.. So when I try to apologize to the fantasias they aren’t there ,instead they’re dancing in the park! I loved this post though 😘
Try sending all sims home from the villa and have one sim in the park then restart your device, that usually gets them back to the villa
So… If I don’t complete this quest within the time limit, do I ONLY lose out on earning the rugs? Or… Do I also not get the other prizes (like the Latin villa house and the dancing hobbies)?
you only lose out on the rug
I leve the villa and I can’t go there again. I don’t have it on map. What to do?
you need to use the car at the park
Will hibernating a sim count as a completed goal if you have an infant hibernate?
no you need to use an adult
Can I use a difference and then one of my partners in the salsa dancing for the hibernation?
yes
I didn’t complete the dancing hobby on time, says the hills house cry,bles does this mean I can no longer get the house?
Yes, you have to complete the hobby in the time limit to unlock the villa
Is there a way I can redo the quest? Or get the house another way? 😰 I really wanted the house 😦
no sorry, you had to complete in time to get the house
Hi! I am stuck on the second ‘have a sim hibernate.” I got the first one, but not the second. I think its because I had my BABY to hibernate on the second. So I wasted an LP for NOTHING! because when I pressed the LP button, it still said for my sim to hibernate, it wasn’t completed. Maybe it’s because I had my baby to do it. I don’t know. Please answer if you know why
Unfortunately you may just have to try again with an adult sim because it doesn’t complete the goal if you use a baby
when I go to apologize to the fantasias they aren’t there. what should I do?
Try sending all sims home from the villa and have one sim in the park then restart your device, that usually gets them back to the villa
I completed this, but instead of having my sims leave using the tracker I went back to my house & called them & now I can’t get back to the villa! What can I do!?!
Once you complete the quest you cannot go back to the villa
I have completed this dance quest but now I don’t know where the villa is…how can I find it?!? N I also don’t have the salsa juke box
You don’t get the villa unless you complete the salsa dancing hobby in the time limit
The jukebox can be found in the promotions r us store
I’m sorry this is unrelated to the quest but I just got this game and on my weekly goals I have to make five Sims read a pulp novel and I only have two Sims I’m barely on level 6 is skipping the task and wasting 5 life points the only choice I have ! Plz help !
At this early stage don’t worry too much about completing weekly tasks, just leave them until you can actually complete them without wasting LPs
I cannot get my sim to etude about the salsa dancers with another sim. It will not give me that option at all when I select for the sim to talk to another sim. Help!!!
are you using two adult sims?
I am having this problem too. I used a preteen to start the quest. not sure what to do now?
you will need to contact EA to get them to fix this problem for you, sorry!
It says dance with another sim but when i do it doesn’t complete nothing
you may just have to try again
I can’t find anywhere to buy the Jukeboxes 😦 I need a help!
you need to buy one from the promotions r us store
I’m on the dance to remeber quest, and half way through it I left the villa and I need to ‘thank the fantasias’ how to I get back to the villa?? Thanks!! X
using the car at the park
what if i didnt finish the quest? could i still do the quest but on this quest it says you have to go back to the villa but we cant anymore? is there a chance we can do it again?
you need to finish the quest before you can move on, it will still be in your goal tab if you are still doing it but if you have finished it then you can’t redo it.
This quest has not shown up for me yet and I’m on level 12. Did I do something wrong or miss something?
you need to find the dancers in the park to start this quest.
Can we keep the villa at the end?
If you complete the salsa dancing hobby in the time limit: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/the-sims-freeplay-hobbies-salsa-dancing/
Hello? Does the villa cost anything or when I finish the trophies I just get Valentina’s villa?
Yes it cost SPs, but you only unlock it if you complete the salsa dancing hobby in the time limit: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/the-sims-freeplay-hobbies-salsa-dancing/

you will just need to select the option again and hope they continue to do it when you close the game this time unfortunately
This quest is long… I’m on “wait excitedly I only have three more days! But I don’t really care about the rugs though. 😉
Does anybody remember me from the Musical Expression Event post? I am also currently doing this quest. I am on the Be Hilarious- 4 hours 30 minutes task. I am actually looking forward to getting the Latin rugs prize, as I saw they were very beatiful in the villa. Besides, I have 5 SP, and I saw some Latin rugs in the picture were 5 SP. I hope I win the prize!
I left the villa and now I can’t get back, how do I get back?
using the car at the park
I go to the villa with all of my sims.. And the dancers are there.. But they don’t dance… They just stand there.. I tap jukebox.. And nothing… How can I get them to dance, so we can cheer them on and thank them… Etc??
try restarting your device, this may get them dancing.
Restart you mean….
Delete app off my phone and start again??
Or once I’m there with 4sims go out of game and do something else then come back and tap into game again..??
No I mean, turn your device off and back on again
What happens to the cat?
it disappears
Um.. this is a stupid question but do we get to keep the cat? Or is it just something part of the quest
No, you don’t get to keep the cat, it is just a goal to make the quest longer
Is this quest not available anymore??? I have hit level 9 and they are not in the park, I had to restart my game and now I don’t see the dancers, the builder lady or then any anymore! I really want to do these quests
yes it is still available, they will probably appear at a later stage if they aren’t there yet, you don’t have to complete it as soon as you hit level 9
Hi There, your blog is great. I finished the Dance to Remember quest and bought the Salsa Jukebox from the Promotions R Us store but it did not give me an option of where I wanted to put it and now I can’t find it anywhere. When I go back to the store it says I can only have one per town but I have looked in every single sim house and it is not there. Can you help?
Thanks! The jukebox will be in your inventory under hobby and career items for you to place in a house
I’m not sure why it worked, but on the second hibernation, the goal actually completed when my baby came out of hibernation. The baby had already been asleep when I had put an adult sim to sleep. So, I figured that goal wouldn’t complete until tomorrow. Well, my baby woke up, and the goal completed when I went to check on it. The adult sim (in a completely different house) is still asleep. I wonder if there is a glitch in the system in which the baby’s hibernation counted once I put the adult sim to sleep.
I was no longer bothered with those rugs when I saw how ugly they were, anyway have you seen the new update? The one where you can get VIP packs and now new clothes for free this time? Also I LUV that if you don’t go on sim freeplay for 7 days they give you 10,00 simoleons and all the sims’ stats are up so they have the green diamonds around them.
I’m not done with the dancer task but I go to the park and there is no red car to get to the villa
try restarting your device, hopefully the car will return
When i rescue the cat, will I be able to keep it?
No it disappears
Do you have to use an adult sim to hibernate or will it work if u use a toddler, preteen or teenager?
I would recommend using an adult, it may work with different age groups in this update but I wouldn’t waste a day using another aged sim
I always miss out on hobby timed prizes. Ugh! But just recently I was able to purchase with REAL money all the items I was forsaken. I bought the Villa for $1.99 and it was free (first time) to build on a premium mystery island lot. SO if truly one desires to have one without custom rebuilding it could happen.
Wie beginnt man am besten eine Romanze und wenn ich mit jemandem den Status »beste Freunde « habe komme ich nicht weiter
you need to be romantic, you won’t get this option until you complete the love is in the air quest
I can’t get inside the villa? I keep pressing the up down thing on the right hand side but the roof won’t go down and I can’t get in. It also skipped the explore the villa task. Is this a glitch?
Yes, you will need to contact EA to get them to fix this issue for you unfortunately.
Two questions.
1. I already had my 2 sims chat but nothing happened. As in, it didn’t give me that notification of what happens next. What should I do?
2. Is there a way to just quit a quest oncredit we’be started?
Thanks and your blog is so helpful!
1. You need two pairs (4 sims) chatting, not two sims
2. No you cannot quit a quest, it will stay in your goal tab until you complete it and you have to complete this one to be able to do other discovery quests
I’m glad it helps!
How much is the villa?
175SPs
how to place an ad from a computer? it has been a few weeks since i stuck in the mission
select the option on a computer.
OK so I have this quest and I some how left the house so now I can’t get back to it and I can’t do anything else until I finish this quest. What do I do
You need to use the car at the park to get back to the villa.
Hey love your posts they are very helpful please tell me how to start a task early please tell me how to do it? Thanks
What task do you want to start early?
The hibernate and a grow pumpkin task
have you read this post? it explains how to do it: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/the-sims-freeplay-starting-goals-early/
It won’t let me click on the jukebox to “cheer on”. The two footprints keep popping up and its preventing me to get on to the next task.
try leaving the villa, restarting your device and returning
Thanks weightlessmagic for all the walkthroughs, I really like them.
I just wanted to make a notice that second hibernation in the quest was done for me by using a baby which was randomly hibernating and it worked(things kids do).
There is always a comment not to use a baby for the hibernate. I’m not sure why. But it just so happened that I had one adult sim and a baby hibernate at the same time. The baby finished earlier and the game considered the task completed even though it was a baby. Is this just a glitch? Or is there a particular reason why babies shouldn’t be used? Thanks!
This is because previously you couldn’t use a baby, this update you can but they will probably change it back again at some point.
Ahh.. Got it. Thanks again. And I greatly appreciate that you really take time to answer all our questions. 🙂
you’re welcome!
Hey, I have got a question. Can I use my toddler to complete the hibernating?
I guess not but just wanted to make sure.
I love your website btw it helps a lot!
Sorry for my bad English, its not my first language :
Thank you so much in advance!
I think you can for this quest as you can use a baby, sometimes you can’t though so it would be a good idea to have an adult hibernate at the same time just incase it doesn’t work
Thanks and you’re welcome!
It won’t let me in the villa to eat the food and it’s also skipped the ‘explore the villa’ task?
you will need to contact EA about this as only they can fix technical issues for you, sorry!
